I loved Sesame Street/Sesame Workshop as a kid and even more as a parent! As a mom of two military brats, I found a new reason to love them!

A couple of years ago they came out with their Talk, Listen, Connect Initiative to offer support to help military families as they face challenging transitions of deployment and re-integration.

Now they are doing it again, this time talking about the Re-Integration process and homecoming! Their newest segment called “Coming Home: Military Families Cope with Change.” will air April 1st at 8pm (check your local listings) . The 30 minute HD segment features  Queen Latifah, John Mayer and Elmo.

In conjunction with the Sesame Street feature, PBS Engage is featuring Sesame Workshop’s Vice President for Outreach and Educational Practices Jeanette Betancourt .  According to their website:

… as part of the ongoing PBS Engage series called “Five Good Questions .” The series features a PBS celebrity or insider and asks visitors to send in questions to be answered the following week.  The blog series has been very successful and we are thrilled to have Dr. Betancourt as our feature this week.
